Owners, Leslie and Nick, are the best, they keep your privacy but also are deeply kind and helpful.
The place is nice, comfortable and all the details are superb. Bed, shower, even the kitchen accessories are good quality and will make you feel at home.
Special mention to the cleaning.
Really a good place to stay!
